But it all depends on the design of the parts abused. I've seen older bikes with messed up transmission parts from doing it. I'm hoping to get some clear cut answers based on either technical knowledge or many years of experience shifting in this manner. Is this the correct way to quickly shift a sport bike? I'd like someone that knows the actual answer to this question.Ģ). Other people say not to do this with myriad warnings as to why it's a bad idea. It feels like this is he correct way to shift a sport bike.ġ) Does this hurt the bike (tranny, clutch, shift fork)? I've read that this will not hurt the bike because bikes have a constant mesh transmission, but these are unsubstantiated Internet reports. It basically feels like one second the bike is in second gear, I barely cut off the throttle and the bike practically shifts itself and I'm bike on throttle in third gear and the engine maintains almost constant revs throughout, other than the split second when I cut off the throttle. Shifting the bike in this manner is smooth as silk in terms of engine revs. So I went in search of an answer and found clutchless upshifting. The shifting sequence takes the same amount of time on both bikes, I just have less time to do it on my GSXR than my old bike, to maintain smooth engine RPMs throughout the shift from say 2nd to 3rd gear. On the newer bike, I think because of better cams (I could be completely wrong on this) it revs up and down faster thus giving me less time to shift before the engine revved back down to idle. On my older ZX6r I was able to complete the shifting sequence in enough time that I was able to reapply throttle before the engine revved back to idle. It just didn't feel like the correct way to shift this high performance bike as there was so much time spent in between gears. It seemed inefficient and herky jerky, which is to say not smooth at all. It seemed as I backed off the throttle and pulled in the clutch, shifted and then let out the clutch and reapplied throttle, that I had lost all the revs. So I noticed while riding my new bike that smooth upshifting seemed a lot more difficult than on my older ZX6r.
